I read a striking article in the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/national/wp/2018/01/27/feature/she-championed-the-idea-that-freezing-your-eggs-would-free-your-career-but-things-didnt-quite-work-out/?utm_term=.29ae6accb493) today that highlights how western reproductive medicine can fail at times, especially when it comes to egg-freezing, and how shocking and heartbreaking this can be for women who’ve felt that they’ve done everything right. It emphasizes tha Read more

It seems that the heart is bigger than the womb, by my reckoning. The womb starts out smaller than the heart at least, flat and triangular when it’s empty. I believe most people think of it as a large hollow thing, like a chamber, which will surround a baby like a bubble or a balloon. But the womb is dark and sticky and its contractions on itself are what staunch our bleeding. It’s more diminuitive than a pear or a lemon even and has much less volume. The heart is larger than t Read more

Jane and her team at Acupuncture Denver are AMAZING. In November 2013, I was diagnosed with Low Ovarian Reserve. I had two Reproductive Endocrinologists tell me there was little hope for conceiving another child without donor eggs. My husband and I were devastated, stressed and did not know in which direction to turn. I met with another woman who had struggled with infertility, and she recommended for me to read The Infertility Cure. I was so moved by the book and its' contents that I s Read more

Mally Shaw (http://www.acudenver.com/mally-shaw.htm), who has been an associate acupuncturist at Acupuncture Denver since November 2013, recently sat for the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (http://www.aborm.org) exam in Vancouver and passed with flying colors! I am so proud of her and thrilled that now all of us at Acupuncture Denver are Fellows of the ABORM.
This distinction really sets us apart from other clinics and practitioners in the area. I was ABORM Read more

"The essence of motherhood is not restricted to women who have given birth; it is a principle inherent in both women and men. It is an attitude of the mind. It is love -- and that love is the very breath of life. No one would say, 'I will breathe only when I am with my family and friends; I won't breathe in front of my enemies.' Similarly, for those in whom motherhood has awakened, love and compassion for everyone are as much a part of their being as breathing.”

When I first went to see Jane in 2008, I was 28 and had been trying to get pregnant for four years. My husband and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We tried IUI a couple of times but didn’t get much further than that before I noticed my confidence and attitude start to plummet. I decided to try healthier approach than taking Clomid and stressing over IUI.
At first I didn’t like going to acupuncture but after a couple of weeks I started to feel overwhelmin Read more
